DON'T they say insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results?. In which case, Ireland's champion trainer Willie Mullins is as bonkers as a bonkers thing thinking Energumene can land today's feature Grade 1 BetMGM Clarence House Chase at Ascot.

In 2022, after an epic battle, he came out second best behind Shishkin, while in 2023 he was third to Editeur du Gite in a re-arranged contest at Cheltenham. My Saturday NAP. He's 12 now and, amazingly, isn't the oldest horse in the race! Iwilldoit, owned and trained by Sam Thomas, is a great eachway play against hot favourite Royale Pagaille. The selection carried a lot of weight to third in the Welsh National, proving there is life in the old boy yet.
